Instead of the usual install-from-source sequend: python setup.py build python setup.py install you do this: bdist_mpkg the result is a binary installer. I have not tried it with Twisted but it's well worth a try. bdist_mpkg can be installed using easy_install -- Russell _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
